RITZ INSTRUMENT TRANSFORMERS, INC.

Current Transformers
GIFS-36-55
General Description
Ritz manufactures an extensive line of cast epoxy resin
insulated transformers across the voltage range of 5.5 kV
to 72.5 kV. This brochure describes one model of outdoor
Current Transformers in the 36kV class with performance
ratings coinciding with industry standard product offerings.
Ritz, because of product depth, familiarity with international
standards and custom design capability can also design ac-
cording to customer specific needs.

Construction
The toroidal core and winding assembly is encapsulated
in cycloaliphatic epoxy resin in a single process, performed
under vacuum, using the pressure gelation method. The resin
color is grey. Brown is available by special order. Epoxy resin
was chosen because of its excellent tracking resistance, high
mechanical strength, ability to withstand ultraviolet radia-
tion, superior weathering characteristics and its noncombus-
tibility.
Thermal & Dynamic Rating
For designs up to 600A the short time thermal rating is
100 times nominal current for 1 second and above 600A it is
60kA/1second. The dynamic short time rating is 2.5 times
the thermal rating.
Primary Terminals
Primary terminals are flat tin plated copper NEMA two
hole pads. Primary terminals are detachable so that alternate
terminal configurations can be considered. Maximum allow-
able terminal pull is 1100lbs.
Secondary Terminals
Secondary terminals are bronze clamp type with a large
diameter hole. A bronze pivoting short circuit device is
an integral part of the secondary terminal arrangement. A
ground terminal is also provided.
Terminal box
The cast aluminum terminal box has one inch conduit
hubs on both ends and a knock out for a one inch conduit
fitting on the bottom. The box is attached to the transformer
body by four bolts in an industry standard pattern and can
easily be detached, simplifying change out procedures.
Base Plate
The base is made of marine grade aluminum and is se-
curely attached to the transformer body. Industry standard
mounting dimensions and a single hole ground pad 90° to
the mounting plate are provided.
Nameplates
Nameplate data is engraved on blackened stainless steel
plates
Mounting
The transformers can be mounted in the horizontal, verti-
cal or suspended position.
Tests
Routine tests in compliance with IEEE are standard. In
addition internal partial discharge is performed as a routine
test with acceptance criteria of < 20pC at 1.2Vm/√3 and
<50pC at 1.2 Vm. Test cards are included with each unit.
Commissioning and Maintenance
Transformers are supplied ready for service. No special
tools are required. Instruction manuals are provided with
each shipment. Periodic wiping down of the units with
silicone grease is recommended.
